Streaming services like Apple Music, Google Play Music, and SoundCloud offer a variety of ways to listen to music online. But which one is right for you? In this article, we’ll take a look at iHeartRadio Plus and SoundCloud. You can also listen to free music on YouTube. Here’s how:
SoundCloud
If you want to stream music online, you’ve probably heard of SoundCloud. It’s a music-sharing website that embeds sound files into social media posts and lets users access them through a unique URL. Founded in 2007, SoundCloud was created by Alexander Ljung and Eric Wahlforss, who also acted as its founders. Although it’s not yet available in every country, SoundCloud is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Netherlands, and Belgium.
If you’re a musician, you can use SoundCloud to promote your music. It’s easy to link your Twitter account and Facebook account to SoundCloud, and you can even use your SoundCloud accounts to automatically post your tracks to your social networks. But you need to keep in mind that using these platforms requires a computer and an Internet connection, which can slow down your streaming experience. That’s why SoundCloud is best used on a computer or a laptop.
YouTube Music
If you want to enjoy unlimited access to YouTube Music, you should create a profile. Sign up for a YouTube Music account through the official website or mobile app. If you already have a Google account, you can sign up using the same details. If not, you can create an account by selecting the Create Account option. Input your email address and select the appropriate payment method. Once your email address is verified, you can go ahead and subscribe to YouTube Music.
YouTube Music’s free tier lets you listen to music ad-free, but the service is limited in the ways it can be used. Downloading is not possible in the free tier. In addition, YouTube Music only works on registered devices. It is also not possible to send your song links or playlists to friends, and you cannot listen to songs that you’ve uploaded yourself. However, if you have an iPhone or an iPod, you can add your music to YouTube Music and listen to them without any hassle.
Google Play Music
Google’s Play Music app lets you buy and stream music from a wide selection of genres. While it doesn’t store the music in your device’s memory, you can listen to your entire collection from any location. All of your music is stored online through your Google account, so there’s no need to worry about running out of space on your phone. Play music online with Google Play Music is free and you can download songs to your phone. To add to your music collection, you can also create your own custom radio stations, so you can listen to them whenever you want.
You can download a dedicated app for your computer called Music Manager. To add songs to Google Play Music, you need a Google account. Download the Music Manager app and follow the steps in the program. You can also listen to podcasts with Google Play Music. Podcasts are listed in a separate section. Popular podcasts are featured on the homepage of Google Play Music. The user interface for podcasts is similar to the music interface.
iHeartRadio Plus
If you enjoy listening to live radio and music online, you might be interested in trying out iHeartRadio Plus. It’s a free trial subscription available for Android and iOS devices, and you can cancel it at any time. However, you should keep in mind that the trial only works with one account, and you can only cancel it if you don’t wish to continue receiving iHeartRadio broadcasts. The subscription terms and conditions are described below.
iHeartRadio Plus and iHeartRadio All Access have separate payment plans. All Access is a monthly subscription, while Plus is a one-time fee. Both subscriptions renew automatically, and iHeartRadio will bill your iTunes account 24 hours before the end of your current period. To manage your subscription, you should log in to your iHeartRadio account and choose a payment method.
Pandora
If you enjoy listening to music on the Internet, you may be interested in playing music online on Pandora. This subscription-based music streaming service, owned by Sirius XM Holdings and based in Oakland, California, focuses on suggesting new music primarily derived from the Music Genome Project, which classifies songs according to certain musical traits. If you’d like to listen to new music, you’ll be able to choose what you want to hear by using Pandora’s music recommendation system.
Pandora allows you to create your own stations, and you can choose songs by genre, artist, and mood. Each station is customizable, and you can reject or remove any song you don’t like. You can even gift stations to friends. The service also allows you to take your music offline, which means you can listen to it without interruptions or ads. It’s also possible to censor lyrics, which means you can listen to music offline without worrying about it being inappropriate.
